Abstract

The chapter explores how and to what extent the different dimensions of the human right to science can help address power dynamics in ocean knowledge production with a view to clarifying legal and policy questions around the multilateral governance of BBNJ. The chapter will then apply international human rights obligations across all topics under negotiation (marine genetic resources (MGR); area-based management tools (ABMTs); environmental impact assessments (EIAs); and capacity building and technological transfer), emphasizing their inter-linkages. This also will shed new light on the institutional architecture needed for more coherent, sustainable and equitable approaches to international cooperation for the conservation and sustainable use of BBNJ, through inclusive co-production of ocean science across scales.
